Easier Easy Almond Cookies

I posted a recipe for Easy Almond Cookies a while back, but these…these are even easier. I enjoy both and can’t say which I like better, the other have much more of a hearty texture while these are delicious wafer-ish almond cookies. Quite frankly, I’d be happy just to alternate!

They’re gluten free, vegan, sugar free, too, and they freeze very well, so do feel free to double (or triple) the recipe as you see fit. And as far as (tasty!) cookies go, they’re pretty darn good for you. Calcium, protein and iron from the almonds, omega 3s and fiber from the flax, yummy from the coconut sugar…

The recipe uses coconut or palm sugar, which I’ve come to really enjoy. Most sites say you can replace it 1:1 with sugar, I find that it’s much less sweet. But what it lacks in sweetness, it more than compensates with caramel-y goodness. It’s also a sustainable and environmentally friendly food with a low glycemic load. I just wish I could find it locally and then it would be just about perfect.

Preheat oven to 350. Combine all ingredients and stir together well. Roll walnut sized balls and flatten with the palm of your hand and place on a silpat or parchment paper. Bake for 9 minutes, just until set when edges are just starting to brown slightly.
Allow to cool…seriously…or they will crumble. They harden in 10 minutes or so on a cooling rack.

Life played a funny trick on me. I've studied nutrition for years, and much to my surprise, found out that I could manage many of my health issues via diet. I've been GF for years, and I've got a bunch of allergies and sensitivities. But it definitely doesn't keep me from cooking, baking and enjoying my food.
Thanks for stopping by.
